Legend of the Chandrika Devi Temple
Hindu mythology has it that Goddess Chandi once safeguarded Rajkumar Chandraketu, the older brother of Lakshmana. As he was riding alongside river Gomti with his horse, Ashhwamegh, he decided to halt for the night as it got quite dark.
It was then that he prayed to Chandrika Devi to protect him through the night. With delivered security through a flood of moonlight, believers constructed a shrine at the same place, thus devoting it to Goddess Chandi.
